Free Cayuga Lake cruise/information session to share research project on synthetic contaminants in local waterways conducted by Profs at Cornell and Ithaca College, the Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Facility and others. The impact of pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and similar materials entering our waterways is a growing concern on both a global and a local scale, and one that potentially may be addressed on a community level. We are now in the outreach phase sharing what we learned.
The evening cruise is free and there is currently space both evenings (5:30-7:30 pm) - more open slots on Tues. It leaves from the dock at the Ithaca Farmers’ Market http://www.ithacamarket.com/.
